The time has arrived. After a years worth of work (lots of work by my husband!) we are finally in our new 'home'. Check out our new Raw Chocolate Factory and Unbakery. Isn't it awesome? We are so excited. Now we can really expand our product line and production in ways we couldn't before.

We love the concept of Valentines Day. A day dedicated to showing someone special how much you care about them. In recent years however, the true purpose of Valentines day has become overshadowed by commercialization. Instead of rekindling the bonds that united us, we are distracted by overpriced roses and long wait times at restaurants. For those of you who share in our plight, here are 4 alternatives to the cliché Valentines day traditions.

If you've ever wanted to try to make Raw Almond Milk yourself NOW is the time to try it out. We think it tastes so much better than the stuff in the boxes at the store. PLUS it only has the ingredients you put in it. Nothing extra. Its sooooooo easy too; really!

Agave Nectar:Agave Nectar is a wonderful low glycemic sweetener. It is extracted from the Agave Cactus and is available as a raw, organic, close-to-nature alternative to refined sugars. We purchase our supplies from ethical companies who have a personal relationship with their manufacturers to ensure our product is raw & produced using first rate organic farming and harvesting methods. Agave has a glycemic index of 30-35.

Coconut Oil:Coconut oil consists of over 90% raw saturated fat, which is an important building block for every cell in the human body. Unlike long-chain saturated animal fats (that have been associated with creating poor health), Coconut Oil contains healthy, healing, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs support the immune system, the thyroid gland, the nervous system, the skin, and provide fast energy. The MCTs in Coconut Oil help increase metabolism and therefore help with weight loss. It is rich in lauric acid, which is antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiparasitical, and antiviral. Close to two-thirds of its saturated fat is made up of medium-chain fatty acids, which are actually health promoting and they are antimicrobial, easily digested for quick energy, and beneficial to the immune system. Most commercial coconut oils are refined, bleached, and deodorized, and some are even hydrogenated.

Coconut Nectar:When the coconut tree is tapped, it produces a naturally sweet nutrient-rich “sap” that exudes from the coconut blossoms. This sap is very low glycemic and contains 17 amino acids, minerals, vitamin C, broad-spectrum B vitamins, and has a nearly neutral pH. It is raw and enzymatically active.

Coconut Palm Sugar Crystals:Although not raw this sugar has a nutritional content far richer than all other commercially available sweeteners. It is especially high in Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc and Iron and is a natural source of the vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and C. Along with being low glycemic (35) it’s also very rich in other minerals and enzymes which aid in the slow absorption into the bloodstream.

Cacao Butter and Powder:We use a combination of Ecuadorian, Venezuelan, and Bali Cacao products for all of our chocolate desserts. Raw Cacao is the highest known antioxidant food in the world according to its ORAC score (95,500-powder; 62,100-nibs). Much higher even than regular roasted dark chocolate (26,000-powder; 13,120-dark chocolate) and blueberries (2,400). We only use cacao from manufacturers who protect the rights of small farmers and do not use slave labor.

Almonds and Cashews:What may be surprising to many is that even though almonds and cashews are labeled “Raw” they are not. The word “Raw” is allowed to be stated in almonds and cashews but it only means they are unroasted. Misleading? Yes. We only purchase almonds & cashews that are truly raw. This of course costs more but the end product is so much more healthy and flavorful. Our almonds and cashews are not steamed or gas pasteurized thus retaining the nutrients and enzymes that were intended to remain in the original product.

Vanilla Beans & powder:Our raw vanilla beans are sun-dried, naturally cured, not processed with alcohol, artificial heat or chemicals. Our vanilla powder is made from pure ground vanilla beans only. No alcohol used. No irradiation! Just naturally sun dried vanilla beans. The aroma and taste is out of this world!

Essential Oils & Extracts:We proudly use products from Medicine Flower and other top quality organic suppliers. Medicine Flower extracts are considered raw and are some of the best we’ve found anywhere. The flavors are out of this world.

Natural Colorants: All of our colors come from the plant world. That means that at no time will we use any artificial colorings. I mean, who would want to, with all the wonderful abundant natural choices out there?

Goldenberry Cherry: Cherries and Chocolate. What a pair! Now add Goldenberries and you've got a fantastic combination. You'll love the meltaway center and little bits of chewy fruit. This flavor won 2012 Best Raw Chocolate.

Orange Rawbanero: This is our Orange Sunshine but with a kick of Habanero because some like it HOT! This flavor won "Best Raw Chocolate" at the 2013 Oregon Chocolate Festival.
